New PROJECT #1

Rick and Fran Miller came to Idaho

from their home in MISSOURI...to help us with a few

projects around the house...

How many people would do that?

 

PROJECT #1

We had a tree...near our home...a blasted "cotton wood" tree...

that if it fell...it looked like it would most likely

fall upon the house...

SO....we knew it had to COME DOWN...

 Much discussion...

 The tree to be cut down...

 Fran...much to be concerned about...

as you will be able to discern

by the next few photos...

 

 Lots of prayers going on... 

watching these two...

 Our neighbor, Dave, a

former FOREST FIRE

FIGHTER...having cut

many a tree...

came over with his 

wife, Denice...

to lend a hand...

but, soon learned...

to step back...

and let Rick and 

Garvin work out the

details...

 Big Nest - Just hoping nothing

was in it...

 Better view of the size of the tree...

Garvin sawing a notch...

 Garvin used his truck and pulled on the

cable that was attached to the tree...

Falling....

ALMOST to the GROUND...

 Perfect landing...didn't hurt

the fence, either...

 Nest crushed...concern if there had 

been anything in it...

 There was a nest within a nest...but...

nothing was in it...thank goodness...

 Nice "sitting" spot, now...smile

EVERYONE ONE did their part...

 FINISHED!
